[PATCH master 1/3] test: self: ramfs: fix null pointer dereference on error

expect_success is meant for return values of functions that return
negative error codes and as such compares the first argument to be
zero or greater, which means PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO will treat NULL pointers as
valid all the same leading to NULL pointer dereferences should the test
fail instead of a descriptive error message. Fix this by translating
NULL pointer to -errno or -EFAULT if errno is unset.
